An email is not a contract. Dont' get your panties in a bunch. Tell them to take it or leave it, if they take it fine, if not walk away and go elsewhere or quit complaining.

Getting all upset does nothing productive. This is business and money talks, BS walks.

Either way, $51,xxx MSRP will yield a $38k price before tax in my area, tax here is 6.25%, so with no trade on 38k that's $2375 in tax. Now it's $40,375. Some fees etc.

So if they accidentally deducted an extra $4,000 somewhere (what rebate is $4000 in ur area?) you weren't getting a deal anyway. Just use the Internet machine and buy from another dealer. Screw em.

Wow. OK, yeah, that definitely qualifies as "highly suspect".

However.

I would not go scorched-earth on these people. Your time and efforts are worth more than that - don't waste them. Chalk it up to a learning experience and be thankful you had not signed for anything - then you be trapped in business relationship with these people. Move on to another dealer and tell them upfront ( but politely) that you have certain expectations of honestly from them and that, if they can't meet those expectations, you are not afraid to walk. You have done it before.

I'm quick to get angry too, but sometimes you gotta walk it off for a little while and take another look at the situation. Whether or not she actually made a mistake doesn't really matter, it really is not going to change much. I agree with those that say to go there and see what they can do, if you seem reasonable, they might stair step back down to that price. Just don't tell them to go F themselves, it is just a quick way to end the negotiation and walk out even more pissed. If isn't the right price, just tell them the only reason you were interested in that caliber of a truck was because you thought you were get a comfortable price on it.

I walked out three times on my salesman... I simply told him the price was out of my league and I just couldn't do it. Eventually the GM stepped in and asked me what it would take to go home with the new truck. I told him I couldn't let my trade in go for so little and I couldn't touch the price of the new truck, it just wasnt smart for me to go through with it. He said he understood and asked for me to take the truck home while he called some wholesale places on buying my old truck. He called me back later and told me that he could give me 2k over what I was hoping to get out of it and that he would shave another two off the price of the new truck. The end state was better than what I was hoping for....

I'm just saying that it doesn't hurt to wait it out and see what they do, if all else fails... Call another place.

-keep calm and chive on!!!

Sorry but thats a D-bag move right there! Its not like they ruined your life! That mentality is whats ruining this country!

Im the one sitting here with the money to buy the truck. If your going to be a shady *** business, then you should have to be the one that loses out when your shadyness catches up to you.

Rok

Yea the world is out to get you too! Grow up you sissy! Its highly likely a mistake happened! And its not like everyone here got 10k+ off there trucks. If you cant afford it or are so upset just go somewhere else! But the way your acting I wouldnt want your money anyways!

Im usually quite reserved but damn dude this is ridiculous

mmwest

To the point. If they were to add the missed $4K that's not a good deal. What sucks is when your all wired up and really ready to get your new truck some BS like this happens. Being told to relax and all that crap ......yeah right. I'm sure all you Dr. Phils would've really been calm and cool if it would've happened to you. You've got your truck already so if the shoe was on the other foot you'd be pissed too!!

Rok

Well I dont deal over email! I do my dealings in person so this cant happen! And if it does I say fix it or I am walking. Simple as that! Im sorry but Yea it would suck but go to another dealer explain what happened and maybe they can work something out. Ford dealers are a dime a dozen!

No, what ruins the country are scumbag businessmen. Sorry, but businesses should not mislead their customers. That's exactly what was done to me. Toward the end of our little deal, she kept asking me about other trucks and options, etc... It's called bait and switch. If everyone simply moves on and does nothing about it, businesses keep pulling their usually crappy tactics. Sorry, I call them out and make a deal out of it to get it to stop.

Well I'm sorry that you didn't shop around to get the best deal you could. 10K off of a $51K truck is completely do-able. Don't get sour at me for wanting to get my moneys worth. I can well enough "afford" to by the truck, even without the discount, but who likes to throw money away? I certainly don't.

Either you are a care salesman, used to be one, or you don't run your own business.


And I was raised in a household where you word means something. This lady knew what she was doing. She confirmed the price with me TWICE. That's not a mistake.
